President Donald Trump Vowed to "Protect Social Security" -- but He's Failing Miserably, Based on the Latest Projections
Contrary to his promise, several of Trump's policies have worsened Social Security's financial outlook.
Overview
For most retirees, Social Security income isn't a luxury -- it's a necessity to make ends meet.
Over the last quarter-century, national pollster Gallup has conducted annual surveys of retirees and found that up to 90% rely on their Social Security income, in some capacity, to cover their expenses. Given how foundational this program is for aging workers, you'd think that strengthening its financial integrity would be of the utmost importance for elected officials, including President Donald Trump. But this hasn't been the case.
Details
Although Trump has repeatedly vowed, while in office and on the campaign trail, to "protect Social Security," his actions have had the opposite effect, based on the latest projections.
